Andros Townsend is sporting a different name on the back of his shirt this season after signing for Premier League newcomers Luton Town.
The 32-year-old winger recently joined the Hatters on a short-term deal until January, having been a free agent following his release from Everton in the summer.
After leaving Goodison Park, he had been on trial at fellow Premier League newcomers Burnley and there had been a prospect of him being handed a deal with the Clarets, having featured for Vincent Kompany's side in pre-season.
However, that move did not materialise in the end after the Turf Moor side signed further reinforcements in the wide areas and meant there was no longer a place for Townsend in the Lancashire club's plans.

Since the start of the season, former Spurs winger Townsend had been working as a pundit for Sky Sports while he searched for a new club.
He is on a contract until January at Kenilworth Road, and he made his debut for the Hatters in the 2-2 draw at the City Ground versus Nottingham Forest.
Townsend came off the bench in the second half against Forest, playing nearly 20 minutes and being on the pitch for both of Luton's goals.

However, when he came on, the winger sported a slightly different name on the back of his shirt than he has had in the past, with the additional of 'sr.' to his surname.
The abbreviation is, of course, that of 'senior', and is in reference to the former England international's four-year-old son, also called Andros, and who is 'junior' as a result.
A nice touch from the winger with his shirt name.
Townsend also wore the same shirt against Liverpool, where he was making his first Premier League start for the Hatters against the 2020 Premier League champions.
